John Jerome Rooney

Famous quotes containing the words jerome and/or rooney:

    The shy man does have some slight revenge upon society for the torture it inflicts upon him. He is able, to a certain extent, to communicate his misery. He frightens other people as much as they frighten him. He acts like a damper upon the whole room, and the most jovial spirits become, in his presence, depressed and nervous.
    Jerome K. Jerome (1859–1927)

    Then down, deep down, in the mighty ship, unseen by the midday
    suns,
    You’ll find the chaps who are giving the raps—the men behind the guns!
    —John Jerome Rooney (1866–1934)
